1. In two or three sentences, describe the dogs motion.

2. Using a number line to illustrate the dogs motion.

3. Create a graph of the position vs. time for the dog.

Time
0.0 s
0.5 s
1.0 s
1.5 s
2.0 s
2.5 s
3.0 s
3.5 s
4.0 s

4. During which time intervals is the dog moving forward.

5. During which time intervals is the dog moving backwards.

6. What is the dogs speed from 0.5s to 2.0 s?

7. What is the dogs speed from 2.0 s to 3 s?

8. What is the dogs speed from 3.5 s to 4.0s?

9. Find the dogs average velocity for every time interval and fill in the following table

10. Create a graph of velocity vs. time for the dog.
